* Evening hours available* Hi there! Don't face life’s challenges alone—support is here, and you’re in the right place! We we meet, you can expect a warm, judgment-free environment where it feels safe to share what’s weighing on you and start gaining more clarity, insight, and self-awareness. Whether you're feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or just need someone to truly listen, I’m here to help. I’m a Licensed Clinical Social Worker based in North Carolina, with a Master’s Degree from the University of Maryland Baltimore and 18 years of experience supporting individuals through life’s challenges. I specialize in helping adults in crisis, managing career stress, parenting issues, relationship conflicts, and major life transitions. I believe you already have the ability to move forward—my role is to walk alongside you as you uncover your own answers and build confidence and trust in yourself. Together, we’ll focus on learning practical, evidence-based skills drawn from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), mindfulness, and solution-focused approaches. These tools are designed to help you reduce stress, improve communication, and handle life’s challenges with greater resilience and intention.
Get to know me
In our first session together, here's what you can expect
Our initial session will provide an opportunity for us to learn a little about ourselves by way of an introduction. I will then set out to explore with you your primary reasons for seeking therapy as well as secondary goals you would like to work on, once your most urgent needs are addressed. Your self identified goals will help me to develop a plan that will guide the course of following sessions.
The biggest strengths that I bring into our sessions
With 18 years as a clinical social worker, my greatest strength is my ability to connect with people from all walks of life. I have worked with individuals facing a wide range of challenges—young adults stepping into independence, professionals managing career and life transitions, parents balancing responsibilities, and those navigating periods of uncertainty. My experience spans diverse settings, allowing me to understand and adapt to each person’s unique circumstances. I provide a supportive, nonjudgmental space where clients can feel heard and understood. Therapy is a deeply personal process, and I respect the individuality of each person’s journey. My approach is flexible, shaped by years of working with people in different stages of life.
The clients I'm best positioned to serve
I love working with professional men and women who are striving to create meaningful change in their lives. Whether you're navigating career stress, life transitions, or seeking a deeper understanding of yourself, I provide a supportive space to help you gain clarity and confidence. I also enjoy working with young adults who are in college or just starting out in their careers, helping them build a strong foundation for their future. If you're struggling with a major life change or a difficult situation that feels overwhelming, you don’t have to go through it alone. Together, we’ll explore how your past experiences have shaped you and develop strategies to move forward in a way that aligns with your goals and values. My goal is to help you build the skills needed to navigate life’s challenges with confidence and clarity.
